Our Bodies, the Temple of the Holy Spirit • Sunday Service

#sundayservice #rrc #remnant #holyspirit #body

Today, we dig deep into understanding our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit.

This concept is not metaphorical; it's a foundational truth that impacts how we live as believers.

We'll explore what it means to maintain this temple in a world that often seems at odds with spiritual purity and how the adversary attempts to corrupt this sacred dwelling.

1. **Our Body as God's Temple**
- **Scripture:** 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."

2. **Called to Purity**
- **Scripture:** 2 Corinthians 7:1
"Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God."

3. **Against the Wiles of the Devil**
- **Scripture:** Ephesians 6:11-12
"Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."

4. **Self-Care as Worship**
- **Scripture:** 1 Corinthians 10:31
"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."

5. **Living Temples in Daily Life**
- **Scripture:** Romans 12:1
"Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship."
